The town of Bingen 30 May 02

Section: article

Categories: Travels

The photo below shows the view from Bingen across the Rhine.
This is the town with which Hildegard of Bingen is (obviously) most associated, and she lived here, or near here, from 1098 to 1179.
She was quite a remarkable and interesting woman… worth reading about. I can strongly suggest the book_ Hildegard of Bingen The Woman of Her Age_by Fiona Maddocks.
Nota Bene: there is also a lot of confused and romanticized material “out there” about her.
